What did Tommy Fury say about the former world champions?

There is no doubt Fury proved everyone wrong by handing the 25-year-old Jake Paul his first loss. Especially because Paul was being hyped up as the favorite by some following his back-to-back wins over former MMA fighters like Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. With this win, Fury also shattered the perception of those who doubted him. In the close slugfest, he appeared to be a better boxer than Paul.
